Polymer optical circuits for multimode optical fiber systems
Applied Optics, 1980Polymer optical waveguides for multimode optical fiber systems have been formed by the selective photopolymerization method, and their waveguiding properties have been investigated. It is shown that the polymer optical waveguides match multimode optical fiber systems, with respect to guide dimensions and index differences, and have a transmission loss ...

Fiber and Integrated Optics, 2008
Abstract This article presents a recent approach of polymer microtips integrated at the extremity of optical fibers by photopolymerization. The method is simple and flexible, and the obtained polymer/fiber hybrid system behaves as either a high quality microlens or a probe for near-field microscopy that requires strongly confined fields. Polymer-tipped

Studies of Polymer Optical Fibers
Organic Thin Films for Photonic Applications, 1995The growing demands in local area networks (LANs) for low cost broad band data communications are providing a major opportunity for further technology developments important to polymer optical materials and devices. Polymer optical fibers (POF) can satisfy requirements for high-bandwidth, quick-connect, fiber optics for short distance (100 m) data ...

Polymer Optical Fiber Couplers
SAE Technical Paper Series, 1992<div class="htmlview paragraph">With increasing electronic function and sophistication in automobiles, optical fibers provide an attractive alternative to copper based media. Lower labor and component costs make polymer optical fibers (POF) preferable for this application to fibers based on silica.

Fiber optic polymer cure sensor
Journal of Lightwave Technology, 1988An in situ method is presented for monitoring the curing of polymeric compositions, including epoxy- and polymide-based composites. The sensor measures the difference between the refractive index of the cured and uncured composition, with the index increasing as polymerization proceeds.

Polymer optical fiber amplifiers
2012 14th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), 2012We develop Europium complexes and are now integrating them covalently into the polymer chains of PMMA. Monomer free polymer preforms are prepared, from which optical fibers are drawn. Our aim is to use these fibers as optical amplifiers at about 614 nm for in-house communication systems.

In previous chapters, different optical sensing mechanisms have been discussed. The characteristics of the different types of OFSs have been presented and compared. Although different types and characteristics have been shown, all those sensing techniques were fabricated using silica optical fibers. In this chapter, an alternative line of optical fiber

Modeling of Polymer Optical Fibers
2013The idea of this chapter is to give a complete overview on a matrix approach to describe light propagation in strongly multimode fibers such as 1-mm diameter plastic optical fibers. These large core fibers accept such a huge number of travelling modes that they can be viewed as a continuum.
